Dubner(the coauthor of Freakanomics) about a high-society silver thief, and an extraordinarily memorable "ode to bar fights" written byJonathan Milesfor Men's Journal after he punched an editor at a staff party. But this year's edition includes a bonus - an original essay byJames Ellroydetailing his fascination with Joseph Wambaugh and how it fed his obsession with crime - even to the point of selling his own blood to buy Wambaugh's books.Smart, entertaining, and controversial,The Best American Crime Writingis an essential addition to any crime enthusiast's bookshelf.
